π Common Features Youβll See on an Original Asus Adapter
π 1. Electrical Specifications (Label on the Brick)
Input:
Typically 100β240 V AC, 50β60 Hz β this means it works worldwide on standard electricity.
Output:
Eg: 19 V DC at 3.42 A (β65 W) for many standard laptops, or
20 V DC at 12 A (β240 W) for gaming laptops.
The combination of output voltage (V) and current (A) determines wattage (W) β more watts means the charger can deliver more power.
Connector type & size:
Barrel plug (e.g., 4.5 Γ 3.0 mm, 6.0 Γ 3.7 mm) or USB-C PD port. Always match this to your laptopβs port!
π‘οΈ 2. Safety & Protection
Original ASUS adapters include built-in protections such as:
Over-voltage protection (OVP)
Over-current protection (OCP)
Over-temperature protection (OTP)
Short-circuit protection (SCP)
These keep both the adapter and your laptop safe.
π« 3. Build Quality
Genuine Asus chargers are:
Compact and well-made
Heat-efficient
Durable cables and strain-relief points
Imitation or cheap clones may overheat, fail early, or damage your laptop.
π 4. Connector Types
Depending on the laptop model:
Barrel connector β common on many VivoBook, ZenBook, and older models.
USB-C PD (Power Delivery) β common on newer ultraportables; supports multiple voltages (5V/9V/15V/20V) and can charge laptops quickly.
π How to Match With Your Device
To pick the right original adapter:
Check the label on your old adapter or your laptop manual.
Make sure voltage and amperage match what ASUS specifies.
Confirm the connector size/type (barrel or USB-C).
If in doubt, use the exact model number of your laptop to find the corresponding adapter.
